"Go to hell, Darryl!"
Lord Kenny roared and immediately drew a longbow. He pinched the feathered arrow and aimed it at the back of Darryl's heart. The arrow screeched as it sliced the air when it whizzed past.
The feathered arrow traveled as fast as lightning, and it was too late when Darryl finally realized the danger.
"Careful!"
Yvette's pretty face looked terrified as she let off a concerned shriek. Her feet carried her quickly toward Darryl. Then, she threw herself at Darryl's back, taking the arrow for him!
Chuck!
The feathered arrow pierced Yvette's torso, and blood exploded out of her body as she slumped onto the ground.
"Yvette!" Darryl trembled in horror and yelled crazily; he turned around and embraced her!
Yvette's delicate face turned ashen as blood continued to ooze from her body and dyed her dress red!
"I..."
Yvette opened her mouth to speak, but she could not say more than a word. She was in great pain.
"Yvette, don't scare me!" Darryl yelled; his eyes reddened. He was devastated!
'Why? Why are you so stupid?'
'You've lost your internal energy, yet you took the arrow for me!'
"Yvette, don't scare me..." The heartbroken Darryl shook Yvette's body gently; tears choked his voice.
Darryl thought their journey to collect medicinal herbs could help Yvette, Dax, and the others restore their internal energy; they did not expect to run into Lord Kenny. Yvette was injured because she wanted to save Darryl.
Darryl regretted his decision to bring Yvette with him.
Yvette heard Darryl's cries; she forced a weak smile. "I'll be fine, don't be sad!"
